Cancel on Your Colorist: Suki Waterhouse and the Instant Cool of Dark Roots

From buttery platinums that had us reconsidering the double-process dye job to multidimensional shades of bronde that made the case for thick, hand-painted pieces, the past few months offered no shortage of blondespiration. But for the kind of girl who recalibrates her highlights with each changing season, Suki Waterhouse’s elegant transitional shade couldn’t have come at a better moment. The actress was spotted leaving a party in West Hollywood last night with her back-from-the-beach waves sporting several inches of city-cool brunette roots. The two-tone effect gets a head start on the new season while still basking in the sunny glow of a summer spent surfside—and isn’t that what back-to-school polish is all about? Looks like upgrading your signature shade of blonde is as simple as canceling on your colorist.
